Wikidata search parameters

[edit]

See the discussion here: is it possible to search Wikipedia using Wikidata items in search parameters? Jarble (talk) 19:59, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

parameter source discussion is it possible to search Wiki data using items suggested for logged, </// () Jarble (talking about) = 2601:601:8000:BF80:C41F:C413:F8DB:8211 (talk) 03:38, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

In the "using wikidata in Wikipedia articles" section, under parsing data, it says that using the statements function doesn't returns a link if the link is a redirect. The example itself is untrue, as calling for that Egyptologist data will indeed return a redirect link to Egyptology (as clearly shown around 2 lines later...). Is the whole statement untrue, or is there some qualification missing? Either way, it needs to be edited. JoeJShmo💌 21:20, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Using getAllStatements

[edit]

On Module:Authority control we are currently reading the Wikidata item of an article about 150 times for each separate identifier using getBestStatements. I am wondering if it would be more efficient to extract all the statements in one go using getAllStatements and then process them with Lua. Does anyone have any insight into this? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:16, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MSGJ: could you describe the up-to-date practice for using redirects in interlanguage links, please? thanks! fgnievinski (talk) 01:06, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've reread wikidata:Wikidata:Sitelinks_to_redirects#To_enter_a_sitelink_to_a_redirect_select_the_badge_first and I get it now; I've now updated the explanation at en:Wikipedia:Wikidata. fgnievinski (talk) 04:59, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For some reason I did not receive any notification of this post. But I'm glad you sorted it — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:02, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
